Management Commentary

“During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, we continued to execute on Redknee’s growth plan achieving record order backlog to date and growing our revenues faster than our market. On a fiscal year to date basis, we are in-line with our plan for both revenues and order growth expansion. We are continuing to increase support value, upgrade software to our existing customers and upsell our full portfolio to over 200 telecom service providers,” said Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. “We are focused on continuing to drive our share of higher margin revenues and, with the integration of the Nokia Networks BSS acquisition complete, we have initiated the next phase of our plan to optimize our operating structure and strategically reduce our cost base. Redknee is now well positioned to fully leverage our global platform and looking forward we see a clear path toward expanding Adjusted EBITDA into our target range over the next four quarters. We remain committed to bringing the highest level of service to our customers and see a great opportunity ahead in both our core communication business, as well as non-telecom monetization to serve the evolving Internet of Things market.”

Fiscal Q3 2014 Financial Results
Revenue was $63.9 million compared to $58.6 million in the same year-ago quarter. The revenue growth was primarily due to increased license and third-party sales.

Redknee enjoyed strong order bookings in the quarter driving order backlog to grow to a record $172.7 million. Order backlogincludes the new license expansion contract signed that due to its terms did not contribute revenue in the current period, but is expected to result in the recognition of approximately $9 million of incremental high margin license revenue in Q1 FY15.

Recurring revenue was 51% of total revenue compared to 54% for the same year-ago quarter. Recurring revenue consists of support and maintenance, long-term service contracts, and revenue from term-based licenses.

Gross margin was 44% compared to 55% in the same year-ago quarter. The change in gross margin was primarily attributable to an increase in the use of subcontractors as the company expands into new regions. Over the coming quarters, the Company expects margin to improve as costs of providing service are improved and revenue mix shifts as a result of an expected increase in revenue from high-margin software license deals.

Accounts receivable was $85.7M at the end of the quarter as compared to $66.4 million as at September 30, 2013. On a quarter over quarter basis accounts receivables have declined by $11.4 million, or 13%, from $97.1 million as at March 31, 2014, reflecting the positive impact of changes the Company has implemented in its billing practices earlier this year.

Adjusted EBITDA loss was $3.2 million compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $7.3 million in the same year-ago quarter (see discussion about the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-IFRS measure, below).

Net loss totaled $6.9 million, or $0.06 loss per diluted share, compared to a net income of $0.1 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, in the same year-ago quarter. The “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA” is presented below.

At June 30, 2014, cash and cash equivalents totaled $99.0 million.

Expense Realignment

The Company has commenced a comprehensive review of its cost structure in light of its recent completion of the Nokia Networks BSS asset integration. Over the next 12 to 18 month period, the Company intends to reduce its reliance on external contractors, eliminate satellite office locations, concentrate R&D and support staff into existing locations and consolidate activities to lower cost centres. The Company expects this process will reduce its annual overall expenses by $30 million to $35 million by fiscal 2016, with partial savings occurring throughout fiscal 2015. A onetime charge of approximately $15 million to $20 million is expected to be incurred over Q4 2014 and Q1 2015.

“Having completed the integration of the Nokia Networks asset, it is a logical time to assess our global operations in order to ensure the business meets the objectives we’ve set in terms of top-line growth, profitability and cash flow,” said Lucas Skoczkowski, CEO of Redknee. “As a requirement of the integration, we opened additional work centres and took on external contractors. Now that integration is complete, we are taking appropriate and disciplined steps to streamline our global operations and further optimize our cost structure.”

The proposed changes are expected to have no direct impact on customer service or the Company’s product development, delivery or support.

Non-IFRS Measures

The Company reports “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to net income, operating income or any other financial measures of performance calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) from continuing operations excluding amounts for depreciation and amortization, other (income) / expenses, finance costs, finance income, income taxes, foreign exchange (gain) loss, share-based compensation and acquisition and related costs.

“Recurring Revenue,” is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to revenue. Recurring Revenue includes revenue from support and maintenance agreements, long term service agreements, and term-based product licenses and software subscription.

“Order backlog” relates to contractual commitments as at period end, pending to be delivered and will be recognized as revenue in future periods. Order backlog is not a financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with IFRS and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute to revenue.

Other companies (including competitors) may define adjusted EBITDA, recurring revenue, and order backlog differently. The company presents adjusted EBITDA, recurring revenue, and order backlog because management believes it to be important supplemental measures of performance that are commonly used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of companies in Redknee’s industry. Management uses this information internally for forecasting and budgeting. It may not be indicative of the historical operating results of Redknee nor is it intended to be predictive of potential future results. See “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) to adjusted EBITDA”below for further information on this non-IFRS measure.
